The best option for configuring all current and future Compute Engine instances to collect system logs and ensure that the Ops Agent remains up to date is to use the gcloud CLI to create an Agent Policy. An Agent Policy is a resource that defines how Ops Agents are installed and configured on VM instances that match certain criteria, such as labels or zones. Ops Agents are software agents that collect metrics and logs from VM instances and send them to Cloud Operations products, such as Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging. By creating an Agent Policy, you can ensure that all current and future VM instances that match the policy criteria will have the Ops Agent installed and updated automatically. This way, you can collect system logs from all VM instances and use them to generate dashboards in Cloud Operations.
